Pretty good so far. My friend, Katiyanna, recommended this!

Machiavelli’s The Prince is wildly different from what I find myself usually reading. Despite that, I am enjoying it. Which, I will admit, sounds a little weird considering it’s an extensive analysis of a political treatise that details how to acquire and maintain political power.

I’m not going to lie, it’s slow as hell. Starting a new book is always the worst feeling ever. I am, however, very confident that as the story evolves that I will enjoy it!

Jude's life continues to get worse and worse. This is by far the most devastating novel I have ever read.

Another chapter down! I've been too busy to read lately. Such a shame.

Not a very big update, but I have finally finished part one of the novel! The more I read, the more intriguing the story becomes. While my hope builds alongside Jude's for his future, I can't help but feel that this is not the end of his string of sorrows.

The more I read, the more I feel sorry for Jude. It seems he was born never standing a chance. Jude Fawley was dealt a bad hand of cards, with no idea on how to play them.

I am Michelle Obama’s #1 fan.

I have unfortunately grown to dislike this novel. Such a shame considering it is entertaining. I am simply just too impatient for the pace of the storytelling.

My term paper is based on this novel. I have having such a difficult time reading it though. However, the characters and plot is interesting.

Compared to my last read, Joseph Andrews, I have thoroughly enjoyed this novel! The writing, in my opinion, has evolved immensely. I have always had a knack for Sir Walter Scott though.

Davie Do-Little is such a whimsical, free-spirited character. I too aspire to dress in fancy clothes and spend my days dancing around the village as their designated fool.

Fairly good so far. The writing is a little verbose but I am enjoying the whimsical/romantic nature of the novel.

I am so ready to finish this book.

Her writing is so personal. This book is a breath of fresh air compared to many novels being published now.

BOO👎

I can no longer read this in public. Michelle has made me cry. Why Michelle? Why?

I have grown to despise this novel. Joseph Andrews is a phony, and I wish the worst for him and his ridiculously named friends.

The only thing I have learned from this novel is potential insults to use in the future. Everyone better watch out; I'm going to start throwing "vile trollop" around like Oprah did with those cars.

You're a vile trollop! You're a vile trollop! And you're a vile trollop!

Michelle Obama is so tuff.

Where is Michelle? Someone needs to find Michelle for me. I want to meet her. I want to shake her hand. I love Michelle.

Reading her biography while on the clock...It's what Michelle would have wanted.

This book is teaching me that I’m not hating as much as I should be.

“I would rather be tried before some judges than be a Prosecutor for him; If I had an Estate in the Neighbourhood, I would sell it for half the Value, rather than live near him.”

“I suppose it was given to you by some vile Trollop!”

“For she would rather stay in that place to all Eternity, than ride with a naked Man.”
